As the title mention?

Battery VSTi?

Fruity Loops to sequence ReWire to Cubase like what Alanzo did?

Or any other methods?

Kinda thinking which is the most simple way to do a drum sequencing.

Thanks thanks

Battery. Reason's a little easier but not worth the extra time. I just make a 1 bar midi section and then copy and paste it.

One of the little shortcuts that I use, is to create a normal 4OTF beat in a midi track, then save that midi file. Then, anytime I need it, I just import the midi track, and assign it to an instance of Velocity. I use Velocity because I can layer drum samples internally, assign each drum to a different output channel, have one midi track, and the piano roll will display the name of the drum instead of normal keys. That way I don't have to try to remember which key I mapped each drum to.

Hyper edit and battery works for me.... its a lot like a step sequencer though it does require setting up. But once that is done, it is really easy.

Does battery take up alot of CPU usage?

Anyway, do you guy did the full song of drum in midi first or export as wave in 4 beat until the part u wan to make the rolling of drum, then you do the drum rolling in piano roll?

Well battery 2 depends what effects you having going on i think ive seen it max out at 6% on 1 proccessor of my dual 2.5 powermac....

i use battery as well... so much easier when it comes to making a breakbeat section w/ battery. what sample packs do you guys like?

i use battery, but it does not have anything to do with sequencing.
for all my drum sequencing needs i use default key editor in cubase, and it is more than enough for me. sometimes i use drum editor (for detailed velocity edits) but not that much (at least for psy trance, for dum'n'bass i use it a bit more often).

it depends on what you use. battery 1 does not use a lot of cpu, but battery 2 might, since it has implemented effects. but, if you use other virtual instruments a lot, you already have enough cpu power that it won't pose a problem.

midi (in piano roll) all the way.
much better control over single hits and special rolls if a new idea arises.
each of the sounds (kick, snare, opn hat, cls hat, tamb, shaker, crash, snare and drum roll, ethnic percussions etc.) has its own midi track, so arranging the rythm parts is much faster and easier to see.
the way you put this, it may sound like making drum tracks is one of the most complicated things in the universe

I just either use edirol super quartet or random percs samples and sequence them and render them as loops afterwards. Works for me.

i dont understand! If you have FL Studio, why should u use battery??? Somebody plz explain this to me... I mean you can load all the samples in the sequencer, so whats the difference???
